2nd Party

So we raced home last night and made the house look reasonable for this other party that wanted to view it.
They were good this time and actually showed!
They had a really good look around, asked me several questions and mubbled a few other things a long the way.
I made sure Adam (Real Estate Man) had informed them that there was an offer on the table and that if they were not serious then we would be responding to it asap.

So what do they do....they suddenly say that they are interested, BUT they have someone else they would like to have view the property. No problem, we can probably hold out till Friday we say, but no they can't get this person to view until MONDAY!
So we either have to tell them NO, and go with the offer we have, or we hold on the offer and let these others view on Monday or we ask them to place an offer, we hold the other offer and still let them view on Monday?? Confused? So was I at one point last night.

So they went away to think and then Jane called us to say they had given a verbal indication as to what they would be offering after the 2nd viewing on Monday, well it was below what we currently had on the table.
So we said that we would not be interested in another offer unless it was the same or more than currently there. They still couldn't get there person to view before Monday and so we told Jane we were not interested, we could not make the other party wait for 4 days, now I know we could have if we wanted to, but I don't work like that.

So the final decision we came to at 7.30 last night was that.......
  1. We accepted the countersign from the people we are currently dealing with.
  2. We let them know verbally immediately and then we would sort papers out this morning.
  3. We inform the other party that they are still welcome to view on Monday if they require.
  4. They are available to put in a back up offer if they are still interested.
  5. We will still hold the Open Home this Saturday, just in case, always good to have some back up.

So there you have it, WE HAVE SOLD OUR HOUSE !

Yea for us
